2006 Peugeot 206 1.4L Diesel · DN55 AEY

The September 24 2025 MOT at 89,605 miles recorded a pass, yet the steering rack inner joint displayed offside play, indicating ongoing suspension wear; the defect has recurred in every test since 2017, showing no clear improvement and requiring immediate inspection of the rack and associated bushes before the vehicle can be considered fully roadworthy. Mileage has climbed from 63,844 miles in July 2015 to 89,605 miles in September 2025, a total increase of 25,761 miles over ten years, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year; the period from 2017 to 2018 lacks any record, and two separate tests on the same day in September 2020 at 77,426 miles suggest remedial work, while the steady rise from 2021 onward points to increased usage that may have accelerated wear on brakes, tyres and suspension components. A buyer should first check the steering rack for excessive inner‑joint play and examine the suspension bushes, as repeated offside play is a strong sign of worn components; tyre edge wear noted in 2020, 2022 and 2024 indicates possible alignment or suspension issues that must be verified on site; the rear brake hoses show corrosion on the ferrules in earlier failures, so inspecting hose condition and brake fluid integrity is essential; finally, the recurring exhaust leaks and chassis rust near the rear wheel arches demand a close look at the exhaust system and structural integrity to identify any long‑term corrosion risk.
